The wildy popular DEF CON Social Engineering contest this year in Las Vegas will feature a new twist: Each contestant will be assigned a teammate to whom they must hand-off during the live event where they cold-call targeted corporations.
"We needed to create an event like the real world," says Christopher Hadnagy, chief human hacker at Social-Engineer.org , and organizer of the contest, now in its fifth year. "In the 30 minutes [of the live call], you have to tap out at least twice" so that each teammate will have a role in the live call. The contest aims to wring as much potentially revealing information about the company from the unsuspecting call recipient. Contestants squeeze as many predetermined "flags" out of employees at major US corporations, everything from the type of browser they are using to the name of their cleaning/janitorial service.
The pretense could be that the caller needs to hand the call to his manager or another colleague, for example, to provide more legitimacy for the call -- something Hadnagy and his team at Social-Engineer.org say is becoming more and more common in social engineering exploits. "These are realistic vectors," he says of the two-person call approach. Phony Microsoft tech support scams do this often, says Hadnagy.
As end users get more savvy about phishing emails, the bad guys have upped their game: "Now they are starting to employ a combination of phishing, followed by voicemail or vice versa, so it adds a level of truthfulness to their message," says Michele Fincher, chief influencing agent at Social-Engineer.org, and a former psychology professor at the US Air Force Academy.
Fincher points to a recent phishing campaign that spoofed Verizon's technical support phone number, calling potential victims and sending them to a malicious website. "They [attackers] are using multiple channels -- calling, emailing, and legitimate-looking websites," making it harder for targets to dismiss them as phish, she says.
Social-Engineer.org is opening up the SE Capture the Flag contest today, in conjunction with a newly redesigned website launch for the organization that's better aimed at providing resources and research for businesses, students, and other visitors.
"We've gotten much more serious about the mission. It used to be it was a fun thing and a hobby I did because I enjoyed it, and it's all still true. But we started to see how social engineering is being used in the world and how companies are getting completely hacked with SE, and how little resources there are out there now on it," Hadnagy says.
The new site comes with a more friendly appearance to make it more inviting to visitors. "We made it less dark and 'hackerish' " looking and appealing for research and search, he says. "We had customers saying my boss was a little afraid" of their visiting the site because he wasn't sure if it was a good or bad hacker site, for example, he says.
Among the trends Hadnagy has seen with social engineering awareness is that it's not just penetration testers wanting to learn more about it. He's had more law enforcement officers, senior managers, and professors, for example, take his social engineering training classes.
Also new with this year's SE CTF: Prospective contestants must submit 60- to 90-second videos showing their talents for social engineering. "We hope this will give us the best contestants and help us choose people who are committed to be part of this," Hadnagy says. More than 170 people signed up for last year's contest, he says, so interest is growing. "The first year, we were begging for contestants."
The 20 finalists will each be assigned a teammate via an email introduction, and will have about to month to strategize their game plans for the live-call part of the contest. The contest includes a reconnaissance phase prior to DEF CON, where the contestants research their assigned target corporation using open-source information; they are not permitted to contact the company in advance. "This is all done without any hacking at all," says Hadnagy.
Hadnagy and Fincher will handle the judging this year, using a Web-based judging application that makes the process more objective. They have not yet selected the Fortune 500 US corporations for the contest, but previous contests have targeted AT&T, Cisco, HP, Target, Mobil, and Walmart, among others.
Famed former hacker Kevin Mitnick attends the contest each year, and he will give a talk at the Social Engineering Village. Hadnagy says he's working on some other celebrity speakers to participate as well, but he can't reveal who just yet. Keith Alexander, NSA director and chief of the US Cyber Command, shocked Hadnagy and other attendees in 2012 by unexpectedly dropping into the SE CTF room during the contest.Kelly Jackson Higgins is Executive Editor at DarkReading.com.

The cybersecurity profession struggles to retain women (figures range from 10 to 20 percent). It's particularly worrisome for an industry with a rapidly growing number of vacant positions.
So why does the shortage of women continue to be worse in security than in other IT sectors? How can men in infosec be better allies for women; and how can women be better allies for one another? What is the industry doing to fix the problem -- what's working, and what isn't?
Is this really a problem at all? Are the low numbers simply an indication that women do not want to be in cybersecurity, and is it possible that more women will never want to be in cybersecurity? How many women would we need to see in the industry to declare success?
Join Dark Reading senior editor Sara Peters and guests Angela Knox of Cloudmark, Barrett Sellers of Arbor Networks, Regina Wallace-Jones of Facebook, Steve Christey Coley of MITRE, and Chris Roosenraad of M3AAWG on Wednesday, July 13 at 1 p.m. Eastern Time to discuss all this and more.

Developed and manufactured by Hypertherm, the 2.0 kW HFL020 and the 1.0 kW HFL010 join the previously introduced 1.5 kW fully-integrated fiber laser system designed specifically for cutting applications, including marking and fine-feature cutting. They deliver performance on a wide range of applications and consistent cut quality across a number of material types including brass and copper and thicknesses up to 16 mm on mild steel. The new laser systems offer higher cut speeds, lower operating costs and higher productivity than CO2 laser or plasma on material thicknesses below 6 mm. High cut quality and tolerances for fine-feature cutting are provided on materials from under 1 mm to plate thicknesses. The systems can be easily integrated and installed onto existing cutting tables, even tables that already have a plasma torch.

She will have a baby. You will be stuck paying child support for this child until it reaches the age of 18 or 21 or possibly 23. You will likely have a hard time going to school to get a better job because you will be working to pay for the baby's needs. The stress on your relationship with your GF and her folks not to mention your folks will be very strained for at least a while and you and she may not survive it as a couple. Is it worth it for a few moments of fun??

This answer does not, nor is it intended to, create an attorney-client relationship or constitute attorney advertising. Rather, it is offered solely for information purposes. Since the facts of each case are different, it is critical to consult with qualified counsel with whom information can be shared and assessed under an attorney-client privilege, so that competent advice can be obtained on which you can make informed decisions.

This blog is dedicated to documenting my projects and learning journey. The Philomath means a lover of knowledge and Ingeniare is latin for engineer. I am a undergraduate CS student, MOOC enthusiast and a voracious learner. Although I have a variety of interests in different fields, my main concentration will be in the fields of computer science and psychology. The blog itself will be organized into a few categories, which would consist of:
- Weekly postings (posting that will contain updates for the week, where I will try to make all kinds of connections between related and unrelated subjects that I have learned throughout the week)
- Focused topic posting (will be more organized around a particular topic of interest that requires in-depth research)
- Course review (a MOOC course review, containing a final project for each course)
- Book review (a review of a book of particular interest to me)
The MOOC spectrum is expanding to cover a wide range of topics and the teaching is constantly getting better thanks to data collection and analysis of its students. Here I would like to compare a MOOC sources:
- EDX – quality courses consisting of video lectures and interactive small quizzes (the number of organizations is limited but the quality of the courses are top-notch)
- Coursera – wide range of topics from business to machine learning (has a more diversified courses from international universities)
- Udacity – great quality self-paced courses (currently, most of the courses are about computer science or tech-related)
- FutureLearn – courses are mostly from UK and other European universities and the courses tend to have much less work involved but encourage more participation in the forums
- Open2Study – has free courses backed by the Open Universities of Australia (OUA) tends to have more focused courses around a particular topic
I will mostly be using Edx and coursera for learning, but will rely on other sources depending on the availability of the specific topics that I am interested in. Here are the courses that I am enrolled in outside of my current college curriculum as of September 2009:
- Harvard CS50 – Introduction to Computer Science – I have heard that they cover a lot of material and that they have a good evaluation system for evaluating assignments.
- MIT 6.00.1x – Intro to Computer Science and Python – it is usually great to cover the material from multiple sources if time permits because it allows one to find out what is important about the topic by finding the topics that persist in multiple sources and repetition is always beneficial as long as it is appropriately spaced out.
- Think101 – Science of everyday thinking – this course is of particular interest to me because I am very much interested in meta-cognition and thinking about thinking. I think that in the information age, we need to become increasingly aware of the faults of our brains that usually go unnoticed. The "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman is a great book on this subject.
- Science of Happiness (Berkeley) – I am amazed to such a course exists. Positive psychology and the science of happiness is vital for success in a career in any type of field.
- Discovery Precalculus – I have taken a calculus class before but this course takes on a unique approach and its emphasis on critical thinking skills and applied calculus has allured me to take it
- Intro to Psychology – I am very interested in psychology but never got the chance to formally learn it. Thanks to the inception of MOOCs, I finally have the opportunity to do so.
It might be quite a workload, especially the two CS courses but the main advantage of MOOCs is that they can be done anywhere and anytime. Since the lectures themselves are segmented into small chunks, my main strategy for time management will be to learn during commute and break time.
So, to kick-off my first post, what could be more appropriate than starting off with a course on getting started with online learning? The course itself turned out to be aimed at a particular audience (adult learners), but it has asked some relevant questions about informal online education, such as time management, self-motivation and so on.

The present invention relates generally to speech synthesis and, more particularly, to producing naturally computer-generated speech by identifying and applying speech patterns in a voice dialog scenario.
In a typical voice dialog scenario, the structure of the spoken messages is fairly well defined. Typically, the message consists of a fixed portion and a variable portion. For example, in a vehicle speech synthesis system, a spoken message may comprise the sentence "Turn left of on Mason Street." The spoken message consists of a fixed or carrier portion and a variable or slot portion. In this example, "Turn left on ______" defines the fixed or carrier portion, and the name of the street "Mason Street" defines the variable or slot portion. As the identifier implies, the speech synthesis system may change the variable portion so that the speech synthesis system can direct a driver to follow directions involving multiple streets or highways.
Existing speech synthesis systems typically handle the insertion of the variable portion into the fixed portion rather poorly, creating a rather choppy and unnatural speech pattern. One approach to improving the quality for generating voice dialog can be found with reference to U.S. Pat. No. 5,727,120 (Van Coile), issued Mar. 10, 1998. The Van Coil patent receives a message frame having a fixed and variable portion and generates a markup for the entire message frame. The entirety of the message frame is broken down to phonemes, and necessarily requires a uniform presentation of the message frame. In the speech markup of an enriched phonetic transcription formulated with the phonemes, the control parameters are provided at the phoneme level. Such a markup does not guarantee optimal acoustic sound unit selection when rebuilding the message frame. Further, the pitch and duration of the message frame, known as the prosody, is selected for the entire message frame, rather than the individual fixed and variable portions. Such a message frame construction renders building the frame inflexible, as the prosody of the message frame remains fixed. Further, it is desirable to change the prosody of the variable portion of a given message frame.
The present invention takes a different, more flexible approach in building the fixed and variable portions of the message frame. The acoustic portion of each of the fixed and variable portions is constructed with predetermined set of acoustic sound units. A number of prosodic templates are stored in a prosodic template database, so that one or a number of prosodic templates can be applied to a particular fixed and variable portion of the message frame. This provides great flexibility in building the message frames. For example, one, two, or even more prosodic templates can be generated for association with each fixed and variable portion, thereby providing various inflections in the spoken message. Further, the prosodic templates for the fixed portion and variable portion can thus be generated separately, providing greater flexibility in building a library database of spoken messages. For example, the acoustic and prosodic fixed portion can be generated at the phoneme, word, or sentence level, or simply be pre-recorded. Similarly, templates for the variable portion may be generated at the phoneme, word, phrase level, or simply be pre-recorded. The different fixed and variable portions of the message frame are concatenated to define a unified acoustic template and a unified prosodic template.
For a more complete understanding of the invention, its objects and advantages, reference should be made to the following specification and to the accompanying drawings.
FIG. 1 is a block diagram of a speech synthesis system arranged in accordance with the principles of the present invention;
FIG. 2 is a block diagram of a message frame and the component prosodic and acoustic templates used to build the message frame;
FIG. 3 is a diagram of a prosodic template;
FIG. 4 is a diagram of an acoustic template;
FIG. 5 is a diagram of an acoustic unit from the sound inventory database; and
FIG. 6 is a flow diagram displaying operation of the speech synthesis system.
The speech synthesis system 10 of the present invention will be described with respect to FIGS. 1-6. With particular respect to FIG. 1, speech synthesis system 10 includes a request processor 12 which receives a request input to speech synthesis system 10 for providing a specific spoken message. Request processor 12 selects a message frame or frames in response to the requested spoken message.
As described above, a frame consists of a fixed or carrier portion and a variable or slot portion. In another example, the message "Your attention please. Mason Street is coming up in 30 seconds." defines an entire message frame. The portion "______ is coming up in ______ seconds" is a fixed portion. The blanks are filled in with a respective street name, such as "Mason Street" and time period, such as "30." In addition, a fixed phrase, may be defined as a carrier with no slot, such as "Your attention please."
Request processor 12 outputs a frame to prosody module 14. Prosody module 14 selects a prosodic template for each portion of the frame. In particular, prosody module 14 selects one of a plurality of available prosodic templates for defining the prosody of the fixed portion. Similarly, prosody module 14 selects one of a plurality of prosodic templates for defining the prosody of the variable portion. Prosody module 14 accesses prosodic template database 16 which stores the available prosodic templates for each of the fixed and variable portions of the frame. After selection of the prosodic templates, acoustic module 18 selects acoustic templates corresponding to the fixed and variable portions of the frame. Acoustic module 18 accesses acoustic template database 20 which stores the acoustic templates for the fixed and variable portions of the frame.
Control then passes to frame generator 22. Frame generator 22 receives the prosodic templates selected by prosody module 14 and the acoustic templates selected by acoustic module 18. Frame generator then concatenates the selected prosodic templates and also concatenates the selected acoustic templates. The concatenated templates are then output to sound module 24. Sound module 24 generates sound for the frame using the selected prosodic and acoustic templates.
FIG. 2 depicts an exemplary frame 26 for converting a text message to a spoken message. Text message or frame 28 includes a fixed phrase 30 ("Your attention please.") and a fixed portion or carrier 32 ("______ is coming up in ______ seconds.") and two variable portions or slots 34 ("Mason Street" and "30"). Frame 28 is requested by request processor 12 of FIG. 1. Request processor 12 breaks down the frame 28 into an acoustic/phonetic representation. For example, acoustic representation 36 corresponds to fixed phrase 30 ("Your attention please"). Acoustic representation 38 corresponds to variable portion 34 ("Mason Street"). Acoustic representation 40 corresponds to fixed portion 32 ("is coming up in"). Acoustic representation 42 corresponds to variable portion 34 ("30"). Acoustic representation 44 corresponds to fixed portion 32 ("seconds"). Each acoustic representation is assigned a key which defines a selection criteria into prosodic template database 46 and acoustic template database 48. Prosodic template database 46 operates as described with respect to prosodic template database 16 of FIG. 1, and acoustic database 48 operates as described with respect to acoustic template database 20 of FIG. 1.
As described above, prosody module 14 selects a prosodic template from the prosodic template database 16. As shown in FIG. 2, for each fixed phrase 30, fixed portion 32, and variable portion 34, at least one prosodic template is provided. Specifically, prosody module 14 alternatively selects between prosodic templates 50 a and 50 b to define the prosody of fixed phrase 30. Prosody module 14 alternatively selects between prosodic template 52 a and 52 b to define the prosody of variable portion 34 ("Mason Street"). Prosody module 14 alternatively selects between prosodic templates 54 a and 54 b to define the prosody of fixed portion 32 ("is coming up in"). Similarly, prosody module 14 alternatively selects between prosodic templates 56 a and 56 b to define the prosody of fixed phrase 34 ("30"). Additional prosodic template selection occurs similarly for fixed portion 32 ("seconds"). Prosodic templates 50-56 are stored in prosodic template database 46. As shown herein, a pair of prosodic templates may be used to define the prosody for each acoustic representation 36-44. However, one skilled in the art will recognize that one template or greater than two templates may be similarly used to selectably define the prosody of each acoustic representation.
FIG. 3 depicts an expanded view of an example prosodic template 58 for one acoustical representation of FIG. 2. Prosodic template 58 effectively subdivides an acoustic representation into phonemes. Prosodic template 58 includes a phoneme description 60, 62, 64, 66. Each phoneme description 60-66 includes a phoneme label that corresponds to the phoneme in the acoustic representation. Prosodic template 58 includes a pitch profile represented by a smooth curve, such as 70 of FIG. 3, and a series of acoustic events 72, 74, 76, and 78 of FIG. 3. Pitch profile 70 has labels referring to the individual phoneme descriptions 60-66. Pitch profile 70 also has references to acoustic events 72-78, thereby specifying the timing profile with respect to the acoustic events 72-78. Location of the acoustic events 72-78 within the pitch profile 70 can be used to perform time modification of the pitch profile 70, can assist in concatenation of the prosodic templates in the frame generator 22, and be used to align the prosodic templates with acoustic templates in the sound module 24.
For the fixed portion 32, prosodic templates similar to prosodic template 58 cover the entire fixed portion at arbitrary fine time resolution. Such templates for the fixed portions may be obtained either from recordings the fixed portions or stylizing the fixed portion. For the variable message portions 34, prosodic templates, similar to prosodic template 58, cover the entire variable portion at fine resolution. Because the number of actual variable portions 34, however, can be very large, generalized templates are needed. The generalized, prosodic templates are obtained by first performing statistical analysis of individual recorded realizations from the variable portions, then grouping similar realizations into classes and generalizing the classes in a form of templates. By way of example, pitch patterns for individual words are collected from recorded speech, clustered into classes based on the word stress pattern, and word-level pitch templates for each stress pattern are generated. At run time, the generalized templates are modified. For example, the pitch templates may be shortened or lengthened according to the timing template. In addition to the described process of obtaining the templates, the templates can also be stylized.
Referring back to FIGS. 1 and 2, after prosody module 14 has selected the desired prosodic templates from prosodic template database 16, acoustic module 18 similarly selects acoustic templates from acoustic template database 20. FIG. 2 depicts acoustic templates which are stored in acoustic template database 48. For example, acoustic template 80 corresponds to fixed phrase 30. Acoustic template 82 corresponds to variable portion 34 ("Mason Street"). Acoustic template 84 corresponds to fixed portion 32. Similarly, acoustic template 86 corresponds to variable portion 34 ("30"). As shown in FIG. 2, acoustic templates 80, 84, 86, 88 are exemplary acoustic templates used when a concatenated synthesizer is employed, i.e., a sound inventory of speech units is represented digitally and concatenated to formulate the acoustic output.
Acoustic templates 80-88 specify the unit selection or index in this embodiment. FIG. 4 depicts an expanded view of a generic representation of an exemplary acoustic template 82. Acoustic template 82 comprises a plurality of indexes index 1, index 2, . . . , index n, referred to respectively by acoustic template sections 90, 92, 94, 96. Each acoustic template section 90-96 represents an index into sound inventory database 98, and each index refers to a particular unit in sound inventory database 98. The acoustic templates 80-88 described herein need not follow the same format. For example, the acoustic templates can be defined in terms of various sound units including phonemes, syllables, words, sentences, recorded speech, and the like.
The acoustic templates, such as acoustic template 82, define acoustic characteristics of the fixed portions 32, variable portions 34 and fixed phrases 30. The acoustic templates define the acoustic characteristic similarly to how the prosodic templates define the prosodic characteristics of the fixed portions, variable portions, and fixed phrases. Depending upon the actual implementation, acoustic templates may hold the acoustic sound unit selection in the case of a concatenative synthesizer (text to speech), or may hold target values of controlled parameters in the case of a rule-based synthesizer. Depending upon the implementation, the acoustic templates may be required for all, or only some of, the fixed portion, variable portion, and fixed phrases. Further, the acoustic templates cover the entire fixed portion at fine fixed time resolution. These templates may be mixed in size and store phoneme, syllable, word, sentence, or may even be prerecorded speech.
As stated above, for use in a concatenative synthesizer, acoustic templates 80-88 need only contain indexes into sound inventory database 98. As best seen in FIG. 5, sound inventory database 98 includes a plurality of exemplary acoustic units 100, 102, 104 which are concatenated to formulate the acoustic speech. Each acoustic unit is defined by filter parameters and a source waveform. Alternatively, an acoustic unit may be defined by various other representations known by those skilled in the art. Each acoustic unit also includes a set of concatenation directives which include rules and parameters. The concatenation directives specify the manner of concatenating the filter parameters in the frequency domain and the source waveforms in the time domain. Each acoustic unit 100, 102, 104 also includes markings for the particular acoustic event to enable synchronization of the acoustic events. The acoustic units 100, 102, 104 are pointed to by the indexes of acoustic template, such as acoustic template 82. These acoustic units 100, 102, 104 are then concatenated to provide the acoustic speech.
FIG. 6 depicts a block diagram for carrying out a method for speech synthesis as defined in the apparatus of FIGS. 1-2. Control begins at process block 110 which indicates the start of the speech synthesis routine. Control proceeds to decision block 112. At decision block 112, a test determines if additional frames are requested for output speech. If no additional frames are requested, control proceeds to process block 114 which completes the routine.
If additional frames are requested for output speech, control proceeds to process block 116 which obtains a portion of the particular frame for output speech. That is, one of the fixed, variable, or fixed phrase portions of the message frame is selected. The selected portion is input to decision block 118 which tests to determine whether the selected portion is an orthographic representation. If the selected portion is an orthographic representation, control proceeds to process block 120 which converts the text of the orthographic representation to phonemes. Control then proceeds to process block 122. Returning to decision block 118, if the selected portion is not in an orthographic representation, control proceeds to process block 122.
Process block 122 generates the template selection keys as discussed with respect to FIG. 2. The template selection key may be a relatively simple text representation of the item or it can contain features in addition to or instead of the text. Such features include phonetic transcription of the item, the number of syllables within the item, a stress pattern of the item, the position of the item within a sentence, and the like. Typically the text-based key is used for fixed phrases or carriers while variable or slot portions are classified using features of the item.
Once the selection keys have been generated, control proceeds to process block 124. Process block 124 retrieves the prosodic templates from the prosodic database. Once the prosodic templates have been retrieved, control proceeds to process block 126 where the acoustic templates are retrieved from the acoustic database. Control then proceeds to decision block 128. At decision block 128, a test determines if the end of the frame or sentence has been reached. If the end of the frame or sentence has not been reached, control proceeds to process block 116 which retrieves next portion of the frame for processing as described above with respect to blocks 116-128. If the end of the frame or sentence has been reached, control proceeds to decision block 130.
At decision block 130, a test determines if the fixed portion includes one or more variable portions. If the fixed portion of the frame includes one or more variable portions, control proceeds to process block 132. Process block 132 concatenates the prosodic templates selected at block 124 and control proceeds to process block 134. At process block 134, the acoustic templates selected at process block 126 are concatenated.
Control then proceeds to process block 136 which generates sounds for the frame using the prosodic and acoustic templates. The sound is generated by speech synthesis from control parameters. As described above, the control parameters can have the form of a sound inventory of acoustical sound units represented digitally for concatenative synthesis and/or prosody transplantation. Alternatively, the control parameters can have the form of speech production rules, known as rule-based synthesis. Control then proceeds to process block 138 which outputs the generated sound to an output device. From process block 138, control proceeds to decision block 112 which determines if additional frames are available for output. If no additional frames are available, control proceeds to process block 114 which ends the routine.
In view of the foregoing, one can see that utilizing the prosodic and acoustic templates for each variable and fixed portion of a message improves the quality of the voice dialog output by the speech synthesis system. By selecting prosodic templates from a prosodic database for each of the fixed and variable portions of a message frame and similarly selecting an acoustic template for each of the fixed and variable portions of the message frame, a more natural speech pattern can be realized. Further, the selection as described above provides improved flexibility in selection of the fixed and variable portions, as one of a plurality of prosodic templates can be associated with a particular portion of the frame.
While the invention has been described in its presently preferred form, it is to be understood that there are numerous applications and implementations for the present invention. Accordingly, the invention is capable of modification and changes without departing from the spirit of the invention as set forth in the appended claims.

Navalliere stories. I believe Navalliere, And Seeking Alpha has them at a buy. Who in this country has " oversight about other companies"? There is NO oversight about what the government does here either, otherwise we would have a solvent country, not bankrupt! Too many bashers on this forum. Bidu will go to $200 in time.
it was complete manupilation by traders as well as weak hands oversold. If anything, it was a buy today. But those who hold will be ok when we bounce back harder and stronger.

Thanks to the relentless commercialization of our holidays, it's impossible to visit most supermarkets or department stores at this time of year without passing shelves that seem to groan under pyramids of seductively wrapped Easter confections. And of course, when parents must shepherd their children past those displays, the youngsters are likely to respond (as the manufacturers planned) by begging for some of the candy.
I've been faced with that problem in the past. But now, rather than being forced to decide whether to give in (rationalizing by saying, "Oh well, it is a holiday") or hold firm in my determination not to feed my brood such overpriced and overprocessed foods, I just tell the kids that there'll be treats enough in their baskets —and homemade ones at that! Perhaps you'll find some things in my family's menu of homemade Easter treats to please the children in your life!

Verisign Announces 3.25% Junior Subordinated Convertible Debentures Due 2037 to Pay Contingent Interest
(Marketwire Via Acquire Media NewsEdge) RESTON, VA -- (Marketwired) -- 08/18/14 -- VeriSign, Inc. (NASDAQ: VRSN), a global leader in domain names and Internet security, announced that the upside trigger on its 3.25% junior subordinated convertible debentures due 2037 (CUSIP Nos. 92343EAD4 and 92343EAC6) (the "Notes") has been met for the six-month interest payment period from Aug. 15, 2014, to Feb. 14, 2015. As a result, contingent interest will be paid on the Notes for that six-month interest payment period. Contingent interest of approximately $5.2 million on the $1.25 billion outstanding principal amount of the Notes, or approximately $4.1806 per $1000 principal amount of the Notes, will be paid on Feb. 15, 2015, to the holders of record as of Feb. 1, 2015.

Your time, talents and passion to fight back against cancer are greatly needed to help plan and implement your local American Cancer Society's Relay For Life especially in the communities of Milwaukee, Brown Deer, Wauwatosa, Franklin, Greenfield, Greendale, Cudahy and South Milwaukee.
Date(s): Volunteer planning committee members are needed beginning in December through August.
Contact person: Allison Klein
Phone: 262.312.4363
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Website: www.relayforlife.org
Has cancer impacted your life? For way too many of us cancer hits too close to home. Today is the day to join the American Cancer Society's mission to put an end to all forms of cancer – help people stay well, get well, fight back and find cures.
By volunteering with your local American Cancer Society Relay For Life you will help bring together your community in the fight against cancer, raise money for a cure, and support an organization that provides free rides and lodging for cancer patients going through treatment.
